It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 70

Lucia became listless and depressed after her argument with Malcolm. Nothing seemed to interest him anymore; not even the things she loved doing. The longer Lucia remained trapped in her tangle of emotions, the more she fell into the abyss of despair. She stayed in her room all day. She barely left the bed, preferring to stay curled up around her pillows. She did not answer any calls or read and respond to text messages. She had completely isolated herself from the outside world.

Lucia took this time to reflect on herself. But she had turned to the most extreme and stubborn method of doing it. She wanted to analyze every aspect of herself, untangle every deep thought and desire.

When Malcolm asked her to marry him, she accepted. She thought he loved her. She thought she was special to him. But now it seemed like it had all been a flirtation. She loved being chased when it came to relationships. The way Malcolm had relentlessly flirted with her had fueled this desire. When Malcolm’s mood shifted and he suddenly began treating her with indifference, it was as if her entire world had shattered. What was previously a loving and passionate existence for her suddenly became a world of misery.

She thought water was probably the best option. She had no doubt that Wilma would throw the beer in her face if she dared to serve it to her. And even though she knew Wilma didn’t like wat
